There is no shortage of home cinema speaker packages priced at around the £300 mark. It is less common to find one incorporating a large floorstanding pair but that’s exactly what long-established Danish brand Jamo is offering with this bundle. It seems too good to be true, yet somehow it is.

Not bad

Talking about turning down the Sub

What I'm waiting for is separate sound channels for music, effects and dialogue. It has become fashionable in films to make you work to weed out the dialogue from the other sounds. They also like to shock with huge orchestral stabs after whispered conversations. That's OK in the cinema but some of us don't live in splendid isolation in country houses in their own extensive grounds, courtesy for the family and the neighbours is sometimes required.

Late at night I'd like to be able to turn down the helicopters, car crashes and blaring music a bit and still be able to follow the story with resorting to subtitles.

Night Mode

Most AV receivers have had something by the name of Night Mode (or some such) for quite some time - all it does is compress the dynamic range of the materiel, so that you can hear the quieter parts without being blasted by the loud parts. Not surprisingly, they market it for people not wanting to wake the kids and neighbours...but it's also good for those that are hearing impaired or have trouble with low dialogue. My Sony receiver had it well over 10 years ago..it's pretty common, but you may need to look in the menus.
